If you try my example again:

      % emacs -Q
      [ type in some random text]
      C-x 2
      [ move point elsewhere ]
      M-: (save-window-excursion (select-window (next-window))) RET

you'll see that at the end the second window's point is being set to the
value of the first window's point.  I.e. the window's point is being moved,
even though the body of the save-window-excursion has no point motion to
speak of.
